Oorvallis Times. SAYS IT CAN'T PASS. ONE GRAFT. Official iaper of Benton County. OOBVAXUS, OREGON, FEB 23, 1905. . K. ' GEORGE WASHINGTON It is well, to remember George Washington. His name stands for all that is best in American history and tradition. It is a good name and a good history to hold before the American youth. The scenes and associations that cluster around it are eloquent appeals to every boy to be a good man. The story of the cherry tree, whether fact or fable has turned millions of lads into paths of truth and sincer ity. ,The secret prayer at Valley Forge is everywhere and always a vivid and potential appeal to every Snari, regardless of his belief, to have the deepest respect for the Christian and prayerful side of life. When that man knelt and prayed for his suffering troops, and for the success of the cause of freedom, why, when, and wherefore is pray er not to be cherished and respect ed? His refusal to be king, his un wavering devotion in war . and in peace to his country, his refusal to serve a third time in the presidency ali these and : a hundred other noble acts that cluster around his illustrious name and fame give, to his career a heroic character such as belongs to no other American Not a politician, but a patriot; not a partisan, but a pure statesman and Christian soldier, his life is the best, of all the mortal models to be set before children. If they learn him, believe in him, and copy him, they will always be ' able doubtless, if they go to congress, to occupy their seats without fear of contaminating other members by their presence. Because Congress is Fooling the People ' President's Rate Bill. TO BROWNSVILLE NOW. And Lebanon Too Independent Tele phone Line Many New Con nections. Corvallis is now in communica tion by the Independent Telephone with Brownsville, Lebanon, Plain- view, 1 angent and other points on trie east side of the Willamette Connection was established several days ago. and "talks" with Browns ville, 24 miles distant, are now of regular occurrence. The routing is via iarmer s lines connecting with an ." Indeoendent line hnilt hw . the local Independent Company to 1 angent. An independent system is Deing installed - in Brownsville under the direction of one of Mr De Varney's assistants. A switch board has already arrived at Leba non for an Independent system that is being . inaugurated in that city.' A new line from the eastside was put in ' connection with the local system Saturday night. It is four miles in length, and accommo- aaies nine suoscnbers. . It runs two miles east, and then turns south two miles to Ed Col well's place. Frank Francisco, Smith and others are on the line. - Two other new lines expected to enter town soon are a second una from Wells and one from Oakville, Xinn County. The contract has already been signed by which the local independent system is to build to a connection with the Wells line, which will add fifteen subscribers to the Corvallis system. In the case of Oakville the farmers along the line have held a meeting and perfected arrangements by or dering instruments and material for the line. A new switch, board has been installed and is now in operation in the Independent sys tem at Monroe. With the lines built and building, Corvallis has doubtless the best country connections of any system m tne . state, if not on the Coast, The connty will presently be tapp. ed at everv ooint. and fheVrtAn. sions already reaching - into other counties are fast - multiplying. A large" part of the credit for the con dltion is due to the energy and ability of W. D. De Varney, who nas worked with untiring activity to bring about the conditions that are nor oniy promised Dut actually materializing. Editor Times: I predicted that tne present congress would enact no law controlling the railway com panies. The Townsend v bill has passed the house, and going to the senate was promptly referred to that committee of which Senator S. B. Elkins is chairman. Mr. Elkins immediately trotted down to the other end of the avenne and said: "Mr. President, it will be impossible for. my committee to re port thissession. There are some amendments vou wish mnrlp and even if we might get it before the senate it must be carefully consid ered, and will not be quickly passed. It is well this is so, for it is litfle more than a measure for fooling the people. It is almost certain the bill would not have passed in the house so emphatically, if there had been a good prospefct of the senate passing; it. The fr.rU the dear people, like to be fooled, Of they would not ex-nert a gress governed by railway influence 10 pass any practical measure of control. The laws already enacted are enougn to deceive the public, ana witn tne aid ot a railway mag nate in his cabinet to make the nonest purpose of the president nugatory. Ihe lact is that there has not yet been any measure passed wnicn is strong enough and pract ical enougn to control tne great railways. Not one such measure has gone to the bone and marrow ot the matter. The free operation ot the law of competition would work the desired control. But the Spirit of opposition lias Tn-arir-allir compelled the railway confbanies 10 uesiroy competition. -They will not restore it. jnly the govern ment may do tins, and the o-nwrn ment can do so onlv bv hni1rlicr and operating a trans-continental railway. The republican lenders mnv claim from the house-tons that they favor control by whatever means, The people see there is no control. They have the ballot box. The hour is almost struck. A rar. ty will be placed in power, which freed from corooration influx. will control these creatures, and sweep us into government numm-. ship much further than is desirable or necessary. In vain mav - look to this congress or to the next one for a solution of thf The solution must be bv the wrmio- the remedy must, and will he- arl plied by them through the ballot dox. - F. M.

The late legislature passed a flat salary law. but it made no new law regarding me iees 01 xne orate irinter. Per haps the legislature is not to blame, since the people of Oregon deliber ately voted down a State Printer amendment to the State constitution last June.' The fact that the peo ple voted down that amendment passes human understanding It is told here that the state nrinrinc for the late session cost more than $20,000. I cannot verify the fig ures, but I do know that the print ing cost twice, triple, yea quad ruple what it sould have cost, and as many times what it would cost for the next session if the peo ple had only voted right last June. One item alone serves to lay bare the whole storv of the State nrint. ing graft. Every matt whever holds the office, gets rich. In fact, the state printing office in Oregon has come to be regarded n a enrt of charity into which every four or eight years a good fellow who has never had much of this world's goods is trotted and -.. turned out worth anywhere from so. 000 to $100,000. . It is also regarded by the dominant party in Oregon as a son 01 special and private source of supply for campaign funds in State elections. It is known be forehand that the republican can didate for- state printer will be elected. It is known moreover that thf sai1 ranrtMoto ia into the fattest thing in the way of CC . - M - - umce on tne .racinc coast. With all this understood, the nartv chiefs require the coming state printer to put up ior campaign purposes, a sum that is said to be princely. Nobody pretends to say how much it is. Some on the whole terms receipts. Any how, it is known that the office is a big source of revenue both to the incumbent and to the republican party, The printing graft erow3 orodisr- iously. A single item of growth explains an. iwentv vears no-n me caienaars ot tne two Houses cost the state $360. Robert Tohn- SOn Of Corvallis was trip man nhn introduced it. Before that timp nr.

Apparently the land frand ciiom that has befallen Oregon is tho- rougnly known m all its ugly de taili throughout the country. Let ters received from d tain references to the scandals. An umana business man wrote the other day to a Corvallis ent and this is the way the letter Degan: : "Omaha. Nebraska. Feh t, p Dear sir: Your favor of the. oti. inst. received todav ic J - nuwiuc.
